I began giving guitar lessons in 1980 . In my guitar lessons , I have always stressed that music is a language , and I believe the best way to begin is to learn the basics via familiar songs that are easy to play . "If you can say it , you can play it" is the best way to describe my philosophy . Anyone who can sing or hum along to a song is already using my approach to teaching guitar . The difference is simple - we're using our instrument to substitute for our voice . Once the music is "in your head" , it's simply a matter of finding it on the instrument . I introduce music theory , including fingerboard patterns of chords , scales , and arpeggios , and their application into the guitar lessons , all of which are tied directly to the student's music interests . Many of my students continue to play guitar many decades after our lessons concluded . Several of my students have gone on to play in nationally known bands , and teaching music themselves . Look me up , if you are in the League City , Clear Lake , Webster , or Dickinson areas . I can help you !!!

ABOUT ME

MY WORK

I have developed a unique , straight forward method of teaching guitar lessons , based upon associating visible fingerboard patterns and shapes with musical phrases that apply to various playing situations . Even complete beginners progress quickly using my methods . Daily practice is still a must , of course . ​
